Description

The Jdk14Logger of Commons logging is extremely slow, even if logging is not
enabled. This is due to the fact that an exception is created so that its stack
trace can be used to determine the callers method name.

Attached patch will surround the code with a logger.isLoggable(level) check, so
that this is at least avoided when logging is not enabled. (though I would
rather see that code completely removed)
